Play Care Learning Center

Wow. Playcare has been nothing short of a blessing for our family. We've been here for 7 years and both of our children. As we are nearing the end of our time here as our kids age out I wanted to leave an accurate view from someone who was here longer than a few weeks. Salty reviews on here huh? Value: you get what you pay for. Sure you can find cheaper. Sure you can find others that say they can give you the moon and more for the low price of xyz. What you don't get is the quality you get at Playcare. There's a reason why a Bentley costs what it does versus a Geo Metro.Cleanliness: top notch. They pride themselves by always keeping the place as clean as they can, or as possible as you can with little ones running around. We have been to a number of big box daycares during our time and we were so glad we finally made our way to Playcare.Staff: always amazing. Our kids have grown so attached to everyone here. The only downside i can share is that as with all daycares, sooner or later the staff leave and our kiddos do miss them dearly. From Miss Brandi, to Miss Goli and everyone in-between, our kids remember them all. You've all been great!Care: we have always felt our kids were in the best of hands while at Playcare. During pandemics, or local emergencies they have kept our most precious children safe and us parents informed. If we could we would keep them here until college! Final notes: don't believe the salty reviews from those who maybe had a vendetta or grudge. Our experience and those of us who have been here a while (who still all still have family get together and birthday parties) all love and adore Playcare. Working in healthcare and having to work through COVID while others had the luxury of staying home we were able to continue to serve our community due to the diligence and cleanliness of Playcare. Remember: Playcare is the best in town and the others out there. Only those who have a grudge will come out and harass online.

Excellent place for your children, my wife used to work there and they are very professional and in compliance with all California standards for children caring and development, my wife and sister both were part of the crew, my sister is still there and she is very happy, I can't wait to enroll my baby Oliver, he is 7 months now and I'm exploring the option to drive all the way from Sacramento to Roseville just because the high quality of this place, they value the kids, I know for a fact because my wife and sister are fully certified for child education development, all credentials are needed to work here, the owner of the Play Care is very nice and professional, she is always keeping up with her personnel and with the kids.

I would give ZERO stars if possible. I waited a while to leave this review because I was so angry of how my kids were treated. Don't fall for the facade due to the aesthetic of the building. The staff is underpaid, unhappy and therefore project upon the children. Don't believe me? Check their indeed reviews. During my two children's care, there was a revolving door of staff and no stability. They make it seem like your kids are "happy" by constantly being on their phones taking photos the entire time while they're playing outside, but we don't know what happens behind closed doors. The first month was smooth, but as time went on they started to complain about my sons behavior (he is 3) and constantly saying he was doing mean things "unprovoked." He would cry and throw tantrums at drop off as time went on.. They have cameras throughout the facility and I requested to review them, with hopes I could resolve whatever issues my son was having. They truly had me believing that my little one was a mean kid. They refused to share videos and said it was too difficult to retrieve them. NOT... they log every single incident my son did on the app, down to the date and time.. should be fairly easy to pull up the cameras if you ask me.. you know the class he is in, the date and time.. anyway that was just one issue, another issue was one day myself and his grandmother sat outside in the parking lot to watch how he played and interacted with other kids to figure out what we could do to help... low and behold, we ended up seeing a teacher yanking my son by his arm. Of course I went inside and addressed the issue, and they practically gaslight up and told us we were lying. And kept bringing up my sons behavior. Of course his behavior is going to be bad, if people are treating him like shit all day. The director nor the owner did NOT file a report that day against that teacher, legally they are supposed to report any suspected child abuse to the state licensing board. Which they did not do, even worse she was at work the next day. My kids both started coming home with unreported/undocumented marks, bruises. At first I just thought it was kids being kids, playing rough. But as time went on and they started to show their true colors, I definitely became suspect, because they never fell short of reporting my kids if they "did something wrong." Doesn't sound right to me. of course I would address the owner or director in regards to the markings, and they always said they'd look into it. Never did. They don't give a shit about the kids, the owner just cares about the $$$$$. My son is in therapy now and after sharing my experiences at the daycare with the therapist, I was advised to find them placement elsewhere (which was a bit challenging due to the demand of child care, but I did keep them home after things got very very weird and felt like my kids were then being treated extremely differently for whatever reason). My two kids have been at their new school for about 1 month now, and my son has not received a single complaint, as a matter of fact at pick up time - they are praising him saying how good he is, how much of a helper he is and that he is nice to his friends! He has even had changed behavior at home. I did not want to believe that a licensed daycare/school/facility, would treat children in such a manner.. but I sure do now. Sad to say, because I had high hopes for them. I truly feel like the owners had no idea what they were getting into with starting such a large daycare facility with zero background in the childcare industry. Anyway, I recommend taking your kiddo elsewhere. ESPECIALLY if you have infants that cannot talk or speak for themselves yet. I wouldn't risk it.

Our children been attending here since 2019. Although we took a year off during the pandamic, we have returned about a year ago. There is no better feeling than knowing our children are being loved and well taken care of everyday!The teachers are engaging, caring, and passionate. During drop offs, it is obvious how happy they are to see our children. They constantly teach our children different crafts, reading/writing, group activities, sensory activities, etc. They send updates throughout the day with photos, nap time, what they ate and the amount they ate, potty schedule, and more! As working parents, we LOVE seeing these photos throughout our busy day and it gives us a piece of mind knowing our children are in good hands. Our children also express to us how much they love their teachers on multiple occasions... on their own!!

My son Alexander has been going to playcare since we moved to Roseville in February. I cannot say enough good things about the owner and all staff. They really are attentive, taking such great care of the children. They give us updates throughout the day via their app. The updates include pictures, meals etc. the space is immaculate and spacious. I trust this place has the children's best interest. So glad we found this place. It's more than just a daycare.

So far all the teachers have been kind. We love all the updates we receive and it seems like our daughter has learned so much so far. They are so regularly doing educational and exciting activities

If you want your child or children to get an amazing start, have a blast every dag and be ahead when they start kindergarten, make sure you bring them here! My daughter had an extremely difficult time with change and transitions and the wonderful staff (Ms. Arie and Ms. Alejandra, Ms. Bonnie (owner)) got her over that. Instead of her crying and screaming daddy, she would go into class with a smile. Before starting Kindergarten, from what she learned at Play Care, my daughter was able to count to 100, do some addition, she not only knew all her letters but could actually write them all. She also was able to spell out words as long as I sounded them out for her. My daughter is now at John Adams and is far, far ahead of the class. The teacher puts her on the happy list almost every day which means she is listening, following directions and setting a great example. She just recieved an award in front of the whole school for creating a culture of excellence. Her teacher told me at back to school night my daughter is always leading the class, eager to listen, follows directions, and does her work correctly. If you put your child/children anywhere but here, you are really doing them and yourself a major disservice. Ms. Bonnie is an absolutely amazing owner. She knows all the children by name, genuinely cares about all the children, and strives with her husband to ensure your kid(s) will get the best education while having as much fun as possible. My daughter loved every day and would even want to go on the weekends. The staff is amazing. If I had to do it all over again, I would have put my daughter here immediately instead of just for 2 years. You definitely get way more than you pay for.

Stay clear of this place! I had my son in the infant room and were very unsafe and not clean. It was disgusting. They used pillows in the crib when he was a baby, would not clean toys in between kids when placed in mouths plus it was Covid time and it was plush toy and when I asked them about it they said they don't always have time to clean in between. My son was constantly sick. After we left my friend pulled her daughter put the toddler room due to some issues as well and a teach have the WRONG bottle in the infant room. I would not send your kid here.

We started Play Care Learning Center the beginning of June 2022. My grandson desperately needed a place that could understand him and help thrive. We found the perfect place. He feels loved, and he is secure. All of teachers have worked hard and never gave up on him. Bonnie the director kept me informed and. She is very positive and comforting.My grandson is doing so good now. Play Care was consistent in what was expected, and he responded positively because it was stable and coming from a place of love. I can't say enough good things. I KNOW HE WILL BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN BECAUSE OF PLAY CARE LEARNING CENTER. THANK YOU

This place is horrible. The staff is terrible and the place is a complete mad house. I should have listened to my 3 year old sooner when he cried that he didn't want to go to school. The adults here belittle the children which is never ok. They told my son he was crying or acting like a baby, so they were going to put him in the baby room and make him wear a diaper. What is wrong with these people? Please do your kids a favor and go somewhere else.
